Let's plan what we are doing for our lesson plans. What time do you want to talk tonight. I will be traveling this afternoon, but will be free tonight and tomorrow night. Just let me know. :) I was thinking a social studies lesson, language arts lesson and a science lesson. We also need to decide if we are going to focus this towards students, teachers or administration. :) (3/2/12)
INQUIRY LEARNING
KNOW
WANT TO LEARN
LEARN
FUTHER QUESTIONS
Involves students in developing questions
What part do educators play in framing the topic?
Guiding students' questions? How are students taught
to ask worthwhile questions?
Record what we learned in this column.
If inquiry takes more time than traditional
"research," how many students are actually
experiencing inquiry learning in time crunched,
testing-focused schools today?
The first step of the "Stripling Model of Inquiry" is to Connect. The student will connect to their previous knowledge and gain background and context.
The second step of the Model is "Wonder". In this step the learner will develop questions and create predictions.
The 3rd step "Investigate" is where the learner will find answers to their questions and test their hypothesis.
The 4th step is "Construct". This is where the learner will construct new understanding connected to prior knowledge. They will also draw conclusions based on their learning.
The 5th step is "Express". Here students will apply new knowledge to what they have learned.
The 6th step is "Reflect". Here students will reflect on their learning and ask new questions. (2/22/12)

Ashley I have searched the 12 inquiry models and I find the ones below to be the most durable:
1. FLIP IT! Framework (Yucht)
2. REACTS (search Stripling and Pitts)
3. Savvy 7 (Miller and Champlin)
What do you think or which did you find most durable? Brenda, I think the "FLIP IT!" Framework is great because it is simple and the more complicated the model is, the more unlikely teachers are to use it. I also like how they use the Frayer Model for their thinking map.
What are the steps for the learner within each step of FLIP IT?
Flip it! encourages students to continually reflect on their goal for learning. They will continually ask themselves "If I know this, then what do I need to do next?" (2003)
What strategies are used to teach students focusing techniques?
F= Focus
In the"F" the learner is expected to "Focus" specific topics they've just been looking for. (2003)
L=Links
The "L" stands for "Links". This is where the learner will cite the sources they've used.(2003)
I=Inputs
The "I" stands for "Inputs" and this is where the learner addresses concepts they've learned and how they are useful to them in their research. (2003)
P=Payoff
The "P" stand for "Payoff" and this is the step where the student puts all of the information they have learned together and they decide how it will be presented. (2003)
IT= Intelligent Thinking
"IT" stands for "Intelligent Thinking" and it is not necessarily part of the learning process in this model, but helps the learner and teacher reflect on what type of learning they were doing.(1997) "Did I use my brain to the best of my ability?" (1999)
